Exploring the factors influencing meaningful engagement of persons living with advanced dementia through the Namaste Care Program: a qualitative descriptive study.

Findings reveal the need to offer small group programs that include adapted recreational and stimulating activities, such as Namaste Care, for residents at the end of life in LTC. Such programs facilitate meaningful engagement for persons with dementia as they focus on individual preferences, comfort, and inclusion while recognizing changing needs and abilities of residents.
